Thoughts on Southern California's high tech and venture capital industry

What recession? Record crowd at Twiistup 5

February 13, 2009

Twiistup - packed

In what was a remarkable turnout–given the horrible economy we’re in–there were more than a thousand people at last night’s Twiistup 5 event. Twiistup 5–the brainchild of Mike Macadaan–lets startups show off their products to the crowd in a very non-conference setting (this time, a private hangar at the Santa Monica airport).

Cogi, a service which helps you capture meetings and phone calls in text transcripts, scored the judge’s award (I was one of the judges);  the other firms were Causecast, eHow, FixYa, GoGreenSolar, Meebo, RoboDynamics, TheScene, Totspot, Viewdle, and Yammer.
